City of Hope chooses IBM Storage for private cloud

City of Hope National Medical Center moves to a virtualised, private cloud storage solution with IBM System Storage and successfully solves the challenges posed by cost pressures, performance and data growth that are currently affecting all major healthcare institutions in the United States.

As the molecular profiling Caris Life Sciences performs for cancer patients has advanced, the company’s needs for managing high-performance analytics and storage have grown exponentially. Its next-generation sequencing (NGS) processes are now fully supported by IBM supercomputing technologies, including processing by IBM NeXtScale System servers.

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, collects more than a gigabyte of data per second, 24 hours a day, from its Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator. To reliably and efficiently store this ever-expanding universe of information, CERN uses IBM Tivoli Storage Manager software.

Cloud is changing the IT landscape in a fundamental way. It is transforming the way companies think about and deploy IT which, of course, includes storage.

Join this session where Elan Freedberg will offer tips and suggestions for companies facing the challenges associated with cloud adoption and migration. Specifically, for IT and storage practitioners he will provide:

- Practical advice for embarking on the “cloud journey”
- A framework for thinking about workloads in the cloud
- Suggested storage solutions to onboard to cloud effectively and efficiently
- Examples of customers using IBM storage solutions for their cloud

If data is all about economics, and in order to get the most value from your data, your choice for storage infrastructure matters. IBM business leaders reveal how Software Defined Storage solutions change the game in this new era of mobile, social, and analytical workloads. A Software Defined Strategy enables clients to support both traditional and emerging workloads with a cost effective, scalable data storage model that delivers the best data economics.

City of Hope National Medical Center moves to a virtualised, private cloud storage solution with IBM System Storage and successfully solves the challenges posed by cost pressures, performance and data growth that are currently affecting all major healthcare institutions in the United States.

Data is quickly becoming the most valuable asset for forward-looking companies. Cloud, analytics, mobile, and social solutions are causing the quantity and velocity of enterprise data to grow exponentially. However, most enterprises' storage budgets are close to flat, and therefore managing the cost associated with that data - while continuing to extract higher value, faster - is of paramount importance.

Enterprise Clients share their experiences: Big companies rely on IBM Smarter Storage solutions designed to optimized IT infrastructure cost by consolidating their data, ensuring their most critical data is secured and available for core business process.

At the Flash Memory Summit, Michael Kuhn shared how flash is revolutionizing customers like Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and St. Jude Hospital by cut processing times, lowering TCO and ultimately creating a better customer experience.

Traditional and new workloads are creating vast amounts of structured and unstructured data. No-one can afford to manage islands of data in different storage systems, and keep multiple copies of data in separate storage silos. This challenge becomes more difficult as organisations are consistently stretched across countries, time zones and needs. There are many solutions to this issue, but there is always pressure for something scalable and cost effective. Can a unified solution be achieved?

Join this webcasts and discover how deploying a software-defined, elastic, layer of storage between hardware and multiple workloads can help data to be managed from a single pool, instead of multiple places and gives top tips for embracing software-defined as part of of your storage architecture.

Infiniti Red Bull Racing is using IBM Platform Computing software to power its high performance computing infrastructure for both design applications and near real-time race analytics, giving the racing team the edge it needs to design and run the best cars on the track.
